Included Topics

During the last 40 years, the values of our American society have strayed further and further away from Biblical standards, while the efforts by Christians to impact the society have been generally ineffective. We have Mega-churches with thousands of attendees, large ministries with multi-million dollar budgets, seminars, crusades, concerts and large arena events with wonderful preachers, teachers, and entertainers. But, all the indicators in the society about values have moved in the wrong direction.
This address looks at the causes of why this situation has occurred, and how Christians hold the key to successfully impacting the culture so that the world will be changed.

Is home schooling a radical departure from the way things have always been? Is it the "new kid on the block" that will soon fade away like other fads?
